Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konaté (26) has opened up regarding his contractual situation with the Premier League champions. The France international has entered the final months of the five-year contract that he signed back in 2021 with Liverpool. [**L’Equipe** previously reported that the Reds were confident](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2025/liverpool-remain-confident-regarding-ibrahima-konates-contract-renewal/) in their ability to convince Konaté to extend his stay on Merseyside.
Speaking during France’s pre-game press conference in Baku, as Les Bleus face Azerbaijan on Sunday for a dead rubber in the European qualifiers, Konaté revealed that he hoped his contractual stand-off won’t drag on much longer. “_My agents continue to discuss with Liverpool. I hope my decision will be made very soon so I can announce it_“, the centre-back said.
Konaté, who is expected to feature against Azerbaijan, also rubished claims that Liverpool have recently made him a new contractual offer. “_I don’t know where that’s coming from._“
